Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars
Who do we blame for the holes in our knowledge?
The past you know has been written by the victor
So I ask you now, who is it writing your future?
The butcher, the liar, the thief or the killer?
Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power
Starved for peace, we'll eat war until it kills us
Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets

Blender Tip: When clicking and dragging on input boxes in Blender, many of them have hard limits, but most can be bypassed by typing in the box instead. These limits are around to help prevent accidentally grinding your computer to a halt, but don't let that stop you. If you need 10 levels of subdivision, go ahead, click on the box and tell that modifier who's boss.
#Blender3D #B3D
The Subdivision Surface modifier, currently set to 6 viewport level, the soft limit, and 11 render levels, which is the modifier's hard limit. If that seems low, don't worry... you'll have over 4,000,000 times as many faces as when you started.

Technically, they're called soft limits. The hard limits are the ones you can't go beyond even by typing in the field. Soft limits are not always there to prevent long computations but often to prevent most users from using physically inaccurate values (e.g. a diffuse shader with RGB values > 1 or < 0), but still give artistic control to those who want to break the laws of physics.

I've never felt more positive about Ed Sheeran. He definitely gets copyright right.

"Copyright was designed to benefit the middlemen and gatekeepers, such as the record labels, over the artists themselves. That’s why the labels have a long history of never paying artists. ... modern copyright is stifling rather than incentivizing music creation — directly in contrast to what we’re told it’s supposed to be doing"

Ed Sheeran, Once Again, Demonstrates How Modern Copyright Is Destroying, Rather Than Helping Musicians

To hear the recording industry tell the story, copyright is the only thing protecting musicians from poverty and despair. Of course, that’s always been a myth. Copyright was designed to benefit the…

The sponsors of the EARN IT Act and the STOP CSAM Act have made it clear they want to surveil user messages. We can still stop these bills, if there’s enough public pushback. The Senate is listening. eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/dang…

Dangerous EARN IT Bill Advances Out of Committee, but Several Senators Offer Objections

Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted, for a third time, to advance the dangerous EARN IT bill (S. 1207)—a law that could lead to suspicionless scans of every online message, photo, and hosted file.

The US makes clear that it's fine with End to End encryption, as long as it can listen in on at least one of those ends.

Next time you think "end to end encryption" at least think about who's controlling those ends. You're not controlling one of them, and soon you may not control the other either. So you're doing E2E encryption... but to what end?

As an alternative to the completely useless "UX/UI", I propose:

Pixels vs Process
Both are important & nuanced! Pixels are the specifics of what you see: layout, fonts, color scheme and icons. Process is more how the user flows through the product: user needs, navigation model, how many new concepts does your app invent, or how errors are handled or recovered.

Pixels are a snapshot, Process is a flow through time.

(but, tbh, I realize this has no chance, I'm just ranting a bit)

I will probably get slammed for this but a remote storage is just a remote storage. The main difference is that GitHub is repackaging your code and offering it as their product.

Misskey and its clones reminds me of MySpace

It does many things, and the UI is packed with distracting elements like the current date represented in progress bars (lol why tho?)

I wish them all the best, maybe I'm old, but I like the simplicity of Mastodon

You can simplify the layout (there are three modes, with the simplest being a basic reverse chronological timeline).

All the dates and stuff are "widgets", of which there are more!, that are removed in the simplified view.

Calckey has a high degree of customisability it seems.

I don't care if BlueSky gains popularity over Mastodon. At this point, I don't wanna be on the dance floor with the cool kids, imma be in the side room with the five weirdos I like.

We planned to add that support. We will first fix all bugs on our latest release and bring small improvements.
Then we will work on the Calckey support.

PS: We won't apply for the 150$ bounty.

Witnessing a few (organic??!!) convos between liberals lamenting how "left leaning" billionaires don't organize, and help save democracy.

Newsflash: People who pursue money to the point of becoming billionaires simply do not "lean left."

Lots of folks don't realize this because: Corporately owned media (and the PR flaks who surround billionaires)

1) are really- unlikely to explain how much a billion dollars of personal wealth is. It's an obscene amount.

2) know that spinning a stories about "heroic" billionaires protects their clients and their own jobs.

There -may- be a few left leaning ultra wealthy/millionaires...

But ALL billionaires exploit. Full stop.

Billionaires exploit in order to **climb up hierarchies of wealth.**

Both billionaires and right wingers LIKE and believe in hierarchy based living. It's really about that simple.
